dr_broon Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share Posted September 22, 2015 I know... They seem to be hondas weak link. Just had to get a new rear on the tourer as well... Second one on that since getting it. At least the handbrake always seems to work on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mb690 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Wow, for 180K your deck is doing very well mate! Both Mechanically and looks wise Think I might get my calipers properly re-furbed, had a local garage that does machining etc dismantle, clean, grease and re-assemble mine not long after I got the car and they have been ok so far. There's a company in Nottingham that will give a 4 year warranty on their full re-manufacture and high end paint service. So even if rebuilding them with better seals etc doesn't sort it, then at least you are covered for a good while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its the place I'm thinking, I used them, the work was good but the turnaround time was appalling. Luckily I had use of another car as mine was on axle stands for 5 weeks in total! Not all of that time was down to the caliper refurb though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
